Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Convention video

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

Phil,

Sounds like you had a good time.  I use to have an uncle that lived in 
that area and so made many trips to Washington.  I can still remember 
climbing up the Washington Monument.  Supreme Court Justice David Suitor 
was from my home town and the last time I went to DC (about 7 years ago) 
we went to the Supreme Court and I took out my license, showed it to a 
guard and told him I was from Suitor's home town and would like to meet 
with him.  Well, a few minutes later Suitor's secretary came down and 
said the Judge would love to meet with us, which we did.  We got a royal 
tour of the Supreme Court and he even took us up to the top floor where 
there's a basketball court.  He gave the kids a basketball and let them 
shoot some hoops and then smiled and said, "This is the highest court in 
the land".
